Hello everyone,

Is it possible to boot to the hard drive after having received a DHCP offer without any parameters? (only the IP @)
The goal would be, if the DHCP server does not provide requested information for the iPXE to boot correctly, it would default to the local Linux.

Here is the error I am getting.
FATAL: INT18: BOOT FAILURE


Many thanks for your help,
Regards,
Bruno.

That is you Bios, so just setup your machines bios to boot local drive as next step when PXE fails, that will mean that when PXE fails for any reason then the next device should boot.

At least as i understand it you never get into iPXE in any way ?
